Suggestion Eau d'Or

I had three samples of the 3 suggestions(argent,or,cuivree).This golden one used to be my favourite.Bright but cool and crisp.Not a typical floral.I normally dislike violet but it wasn't strongly felt in this composition.The green notes along with the orchid and the musk-amber base are the main players.Not a sweet scent despite the peach/vanilla notes.A metallic overall feeling,common to all 3 metal-waters by Montana,makes it really suitable for evening wear with golden jewlery.Glow adding.Cool glow-like a yellow moon-not the warm kind of sunshine glow.

This 1994 version is wicked beautiful. Light, close, green, soft powdery violets, aldehydes. There's a hint of underlying hyacinth, orchid (both give it a little sharp edge like pepper), musk and sandalwood in the background.

I finally chased it down for an acceptible price. This perfume must be discontinued, because the greedy ebay sellers are shamelessly price it to match Dior perfumes. This is a lovely fragrance for summer time, and just like most Montana creations not ordinary or generic. Green and floral notes with amber base make it warm and cool at the same time. There is something about it that makes you think of liquid gold. It is not the same but on the same band wagon with Lalique de Laique. For me personally, it lacks intensity for evening wear, but it is perfect during for day time wear. The longevity and sillage are average....on me it stayed on for about 4 hours.

After wearing it for a while I wanted to add that this fragrance is not the best of Montana in terms of its sillage and longevity. Something along the lines of Tous Touch. If you want something along the same lines, my advice is go with So De La Renta by Oscar instead, or Jadore if you want more sophistication.

A beautiful nose-tingling floral melange, mostly violet to me. Does give an 80s vibe.
